Extra Credit

Living in the capitol of the State of California definitely has its perks. Northern California has its own beauty apart from Southern California. One of the beauties is the capitol building in Downtown Sacramento. They had an art and history and science exhibition at the capitol for a limited time. The capitol introduced an exhibition for a short amount of time called the Treasures of California.

Inside the Exhibition 

This was very fascinating as it combined the history of early California, as well as the medicine of early California. The exhibit reminded me of the class because it combined medicine and art. As shown in the picture on the right, inside the glass windows were booklets of art pieces that showed early medications of curing the ill. In the early days, there was a lot of influence on herbal medication for helping multiple kinds of sickness.  The exhibit showed this by painting the flowers that were used and putting them onto display.

I thought this is very important and I encourage other fellow students to check this out if they are in town. This relates to the class especially the topic in medicine and art because even many years ago doctors were able to work with artists to find significance beyond the beauty of flowers. Gardening and landscaping is a type of art and doctors have been able to use that beauty to help the human body. This is giving others more of awareness between art and other disciplines, especial science and medicine and this is something that this class has taught us over and over again.
